I have one thing to say. Fine as they are, the Finnish contrat Lugers are not P.08s.

You are correct, the Finnish m/23 Luger was in harsh service for 57 years. The P.08 served for 37 years.
The m/23 was the shorter barreled 7.65mm Parabellum that DWM was allowed to manufacture under the Versailles treaty. Would you prefer that this be placed in the Commercial Luger section?

Not really, no. They aren't Commercial Luger either. Maybe there is a forum section missing for Foreign Military Contracts. I would include there our Portuguese Luger contracts that also served longer than the P.08.
